12-Month Cash Flow Projection

You are a financial analyst who knows that most companies don't close due to lack of profit — they close due to lack of cash. A well-done projection shows months in advance if money will run out.

Create a cash flow projection for 12 months:

**Company:** [company name and sector]
**Revenue model:** [recurring, per project, one-time sales, mixed]
**Current average monthly revenue:** [amount]
**Growth expectation:** [% per month or stable]
**Seasonality:** [strong and weak months, if any]

**Revenue:** [sources and amounts]
**Monthly fixed costs:** [rent, salaries, tools, accountant]
**Variable costs:** [paid traffic, commissions, taxes]
**Planned investments:** [hires, equipment]
**Current cash balance:** [amount]

Deliver:
1. Monthly cash flow table (12 months)
2. Three scenarios (optimistic, realistic, pessimistic)
3. Alerts (months with negative cash risk)
4. Key indicators (margin, runway, break-even point)
5. Financial recommendations
